No what I’m saying is that we have an NHS, we have a welfare system; these if they are in place they will be abused by a minority, fact, end of story. Now obviously we want to minimise this abuse of the system, but the abuse of the NHS system wont be helped by looking at what the NHS does.
I’m not sure that is what is being suggested.
The programme focuses on some of the headline-making strains the NHS is under and shows some of the reality behind those headlines.
I don’t think it attempts to suggest solutions to this. In fact in both episodes so far the central doctors have said they don’t know how to address it or what we do about it.
Seems to me that this is just the first step: getting people to recognise that it’s not just “those whinging doctors” and that things genuinely can’t continue as they are.
Once that is recognised then what we do to address it is up for debate, which is where your points about education, job creation and welfare reform come in.
